The NPC Community Team provides in-depth research and analysis of issues affecting individuals and communities across the UK, ranging from child abuse to the challenges of growing old in deprived communities.
The team’s detailed analysis helps donors and funders to tackle community issues more effectively by:
- explaining the areas of greatest need, identifying funding gaps, and putting issues into the context of UK government policy
- advising on how best to support causes such as child abuse and older people
- highlighting examples of charities that could use donations to best effect, and
- suggesting options to solve specific problems, or to target particular groups of people.
The Community Team works closely with NPC’s other research teams (including health, education and environment) to identify common themes, problems and solutions.

'NPC helped us enormously and in many ways. What was probably most important was the help NPC gave us to define a strategy or framework. But NPC also helped us up the learning curve and is involved in monitoring the performance of the charities we support.'
